Swedish pair Robert Karlsson and Johan Edfors shared a three-way lead with Dutchman Maarten Lafeber in the Portugal Masters here yesterday.
All three shot eight-under-par rounds of 64 at the Oceanico Victoria Golf Course with another Swede, Alexander Noren, and Finland's Mikko Ilonen a shot further back.
Karlsson and Edfors both hit perfect rounds that included eight birdies in conditions which proved to their liking.
"I think with this kind of set-up, with not so much rough, that's very often what we play in Sweden," Karlsson told www.europeantour.com.
"It's a bit similar to Swedish golf, and the speed of the greens as well are not super fast. I think we are very used to playing this type of golf on our home courses where we grew up."
